Abstract: Systems and methods for artificial sight in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a retinal prosthesis system including an external controller, a scene imager, an eye imager, an implanted controller, and a stimulation interface in communication with the implanted controller, where the stimulation interface is positioned to stimulate a plurality of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) of the eye, where the external controller is configured to obtain image data describing a scene from the scene imager, obtain eye position data from the eye imager, determine a field of view (FOV) in the scene based on the eye position data; where the implanted controller is configured to obtain the FOV from the external controller, continuously select stimulation pulses from a dictionary based on the FOV, and stimulate the plurality of RGCs using the stimulation interface in accordance with the selected stimulation pulses.

Abstract: Systems and methods for calibration of retinal prosthetics in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. A closed loop calibration process is described whereby a multi-electrode stimulation regime can be calibrated to a given user's retina. Multi-electrode stimulation can provide increased stimulation selectivity, but significantly increases complexity. Systems and methods described herein provide computational steps that significantly reduce the amount of trials and computation required in order to achieve clinically viable selectivity, making closed-loop calibration of retinal prosthetics possible in significantly less time than open-loop calibration.
